Chapter 396: Skillful Hands and Duanning
This amazing painting skill even Princess Duanning is ashamed of herself!
The queen finally reacted, she took the painting from the hands of the palace people, carefully held it in her hand and looked at it for a while. A smile finally appeared on his face: "Xiyun, I didn't expect you to be able to draw well, why haven't I heard you say it before?" ”
"Carving insect tricks, where do you dare to be ugly in front of your mother." Su Xiyun said modestly: "Today's painting for the sake of fun, that is, Bo Niangniang smiled, and he deserved such praise from Niangniang." ”
Seeing that Su Xiyun was so modest, the smile on her face became more and more, she looked at it for a while, then handed the painting to the palace people, and ordered: "Show this painting in front of everyone, so that everyone can see it." ”
"Yes! Empress! The palace people responded, and carefully took the painting, starting with Concubine Liang. Show them one by one in front of everyone.
The queen smiled slightly, and said to Su Xiyun: "Come, sit next to the palace." ”
"Xie Niangniang." Su Xiyun thanked her, then stepped forward and carefully sat down next to the chair brought by the palace people, which was the closest to the queen.
Concubine Liang's expression on the side changed, but she didn't speak.
As the palace people showed the paintings one by one in front of people, the expressions of everyone in the hall staring at Su Xiyun changed a little, and the sounds of admiration and gasping also came and went.
When the lotus picture was passed to Princess Xian, Princess Xian smiled coldly at the painting, but praised it without smiling: "Miss Su's painting skills are indeed first-class!" Princess Duanning is not too much to give! It's amazing! Her original intention was to provoke the suspicion between Princess Duanning and Su Xiyun.
Sure enough, when Concubine Liang heard this, she immediately cast a needle-like gaze on Su Xiyun's face. was about to say a few sarcastic words, but Princess Duanning on the side spoke one step ahead of her: "Princess Xian said that she laughed, Miss Su's painting skills are indeed better than Duanning, which Duanning admitted." The expression on her face was calm, and there was no trace of jealousy.
When Princess Xian heard this, her face showed disappointment, and the plan to sow discord would not work at all.
Concubine Liang didn't want to say anything anymore, She turned her gaze back and glared at her daughter fiercely, then turned her head and said, "Our Duanning is not bad, and Miss is at most equal!" ”
Everyone didn't believe it, Princess Duanning had just drawn a peony picture, and now it was still in front of the queen, and that picture could not be compared with the picture drawn by Su Xiyun in terms of composition or brushwork. Concubine Liang said. is suspected of deliberately elevating his daughter.
When the queen heard this, she smiled slightly, but did not speak.
The palace people picked up the painting and left the seat of Princess Xian, and passed it in front of the eyes of every lady at the banquet.
Su Xiyun retracted her gaze, she didn't want to listen to the exclamations made by the underground people, these paintings were painted by her relying on the memories of her previous life, and they were not her own skills. I don't deserve to be so praised.
But in the case just now, she had to do it.
Soon. The painting was passed to the table where Su Qianyun was sitting, and Su Qianyun and Bai Ruiqi both stretched out their heads to look at it. The rest of the room also looked back.
"Oops!" An exclamation suddenly sounded in front of everyone.
Su Xiyun quickly turned her gaze, but saw Bai Ruiqi and Su Qianyun hurriedly wiping the painting, far away. Su Xiyun couldn't see what was going on, but the ladies who were close to her had already discussed: "Oh, what a good painting!" was actually splashed with a bowl of tea! Really! ”
Su Xiyun's eyes sank, and she instantly stared at Bai Ruiqi, who was huddled beside Su Qianyun, her eyes were as cold as a knife.
The queen's face also sank, and she slowly spoke, "What happened?" ”
Su Qianyun's face turned pale, and she glanced at Bai Ruiqi, who was cowering beside her, only to see that the other party's eyes were full of pleading. She sighed, stood up from her seat, knelt down and said, "Niangniang, the courtier just accidentally spilled tea on her sister's painting, she deserves death, beg Niangniang to punish her!" ”
Bai Ruiqi on the side was greatly relieved when she heard her say this, and she said regretfully: "Sister-in-law, Ruiqi didn't catch that cup of tea just now, I'm sorry." ”
When everyone heard this, what else did they not understand? It must be that this young lady Bai is dissatisfied with her sister-in-law, and when she is looking at the painting, she splashes tea on the painting to wronged this sister-in-law, this young lady Bai is also a little vicious!
"What? Tea spilled? Present it to me and I'll take a look! The queen's face changed, and she shouted to the bottom.
Soon, the painting was presented to the queen.
The lotus flower picture that was just amazing is now like a dusty pearl, and it has become extremely ugly.
Concubine Liang saw it next to her, and immediately sneered: "Tsk, I was splashed with tea, and I actually became like this!" This is not as good as the peony picture of my family's Duanning! As she spoke, she glanced at Su Qianyun, who was kneeling not far away, and her smile was even more sarcastic: "Miss Su, I heard that this young lady Bai is your own sister!" Tsk, this sister is really fond of you! Destroy the picture you drew so easily......"
Everyone below heard the irony in Concubine Liang's words, and their eyes looking at Su Xiyun couldn't help but contain some pity.
However, Su Xiyun just smiled slightly and said, "Concubine Liang is right, my sister is indeed very affectionate to me, and today's incident is just an accident." ”
But everyone was a little unconvinced.
At this moment, Princess Duanning suddenly stood up and walked a few steps in front of the painting in the palace person's hand, she frowned slightly, stared at the painting for a moment, and suddenly said: "I have a way to remedy it." ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Concubine Liang hurriedly said, "Duanning, what are you doing standing there?" Don't come back soon! ”
"Concubine Liang, how about you let Duan Ning take a look? The people they paint cherish each other, so what's not to do? The queen glanced at Concubine Liang with a smile, then turned her head and said to Princess Duanning gently: "Duanning, do you really have a way to remedy this painting?" ”
Duan Ning nodded, her big eyes flickering; "Queen Mother, although Duan Ning is not sure, he can give it a try."
When the queen heard this, she turned her head to look at Su Xiyun.
"Niangniang, Princess Duanning can deign to repair paintings for Xiyun, this is a blessing that Xiyun has cultivated for several generations, and I can't ask for it." Su Xiyun smiled slightly. The woman died for a long time.
Concubine Liang on the side heard Su Xiyun praise her daughter like this, and she finally felt a lot better, and she no longer deliberately made sarcastic remarks.
Soon, the palace people rearranged the painting that had been sorted out and dried on the table on the stage, Princess Duanning smiled at Su Xiyun, turned around and walked over.
Offstage, Su Qianyun, who was kneeling on the ground, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But Bai Ruiqi, who was sitting on the side, had a faint hint of disappointment in her eyes, but she hid it so deep that no one noticed.
Su Xiyun glanced at Su Qianyun, cast her a reassuring look, and turned her gaze to Princess Duanning, who had already picked up the brush and started to redraw, and became a little interested in her heart.
A woman who is not arrogant or impatient, and can maintain a normal heart even when her opponent has obviously defeated her, which is very rare in ancient times, and she is still a princess with a noble status! This gas is even more precious.
Moreover, being able to take the initiative to help the opponent save the painting that has been destroyed shows that Duan Ning really loves painting.
If it is possible, Su Xiyun really wants to be friends with Princess Duanning, just because they are all people who love painting.
Time passed slowly, and just when everyone was looking forward to it, the painting was finally changed.
Princess Duanning put down her pen, glanced at it with satisfaction, and then motioned to the palace people to pick it up and held it in front of the queen and everyone.
I saw that in the place where the tea had just been splashed, Princess Duanning added a few strokes of brown paint to paint it into a withered lotus leaf. Suddenly, the whole style of painting changed, with a bit of depression, but it was a completely different style.
When the queen saw it, she finally showed a smile on her face again, she glanced at Duan Ning approvingly, and said with a smile: "Yes, Duan Ning's painting skills have reached a higher level!" ”
Hearing the queen's praise, Duan Ning said modestly: "Niang Niang praised it falsely, Duan Ning should work harder." She originally wanted to say in public what she wanted to ask Su Xiyun for, but after thinking about it, it was better to say it at the bottom, otherwise, the mother concubine would have to sneer at Miss Su again.
Concubine Liang sat there, with that smug expression on her face again, and at this time, she finally stopped sarcastically saying sarcastic about Su Xiyun.
"Alright, Young Lady Bai, get up! Even if you are not careful, this palace does not blame you. The queen turned her head and said to Su Qianyun, who was kneeling not far away.
"Xie Niangniang!" But it was two different voices, it turned out that Su Xiyun saw that the queen had forgiven Su Qianyun, and she also knelt down and thanked her.
"Get up!" Seeing Su Xiyun kneeling, the queen hurriedly stretched out her hand to pick her up, and now, she is more and more satisfied with her future daughter-in-law.
When the women in the hall saw the scene of the queen and Su Xiyun being so intimate, they all showed jealousy. Sister-in-law|- The noble girl is seeking to marry
Su Qianyun thanked her again, and then returned to the chair and sat down.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry." Bai Ruiqi on the side was busy whispering and owing, her pitiful appearance made people very unbearable to blame.
Sure enough, Su Qianyun sighed and said in a low voice: "You should be careful in the future, you know?" "It's not her to blame.
Bai Ruiqi showed a happy smile on her face, grabbed Su Qianyun's hand, and said with a smile like a flower: "I know that my sister-in-law is the best for me!" ”
Su Xiyun sat beside the queen and watched this scene from a distance, her eyes gradually becoming cold.
Just when everyone was praising Princess Duanning, suddenly a palace man hurriedly came in and whispered a few words in the queen's ear.
The queen's face changed suddenly.
